Both 3 languages are similar in grammar, but when it comes to pronunciation portuguese is harder, because both Spanish and Italian are pronounced the same way it is written, unlike Portuguese. Spanish and Italian have 5 vowel sounds and they are always pronounced the same way no matter where they are located in a word, while Portuguese has several vowel sounds (closed vowels, open vowels and nasal vowels) and some consonants too and all them can be pronounced differently depending on where it is placed in the word (start, middle, end) or which letter come before or after them. Therefore, learning Spanish and Italian pronunciation by reading texts is far easier, but Portuguese (like French) can be really tricky. Now talking about grammar, all them are almost the same.

Fun fact: She says "encantada" because she is a woman. A man would say "encantado de conocerte". By the way, the literal translation is: "enchanted to meet you" or "enchanted by meeting you". And we also say "Es un placer conocerte" ("it's a pleasure to meet you") which is exactly what the other girls said in their respective languages.

From the indigenous languages we actually have more words (like names of places like Tijuca, Carioca) than actual pronunciation influences. Italian and German influences are regional, but Arabic and French are influences that come from thousand of years of influencing Portugal too (ie: abajur (from French), Algarve (from Arabic)). Buttt some regions like Rio de Janeiro have Wayyy more French influences (that’s why they don’t pronounce the s and the r like the rest of the country) because of the Portuguese court that settled here and at the time the upper classes were heavily influenced by France. The lower classes in rio tried to follow up and that’s how the distinctive accent came to be. That’s also why in some way they sound more like modern day Portuguese people.

For some people in the comments, Portuguese does NOT have a phonetically-based writing (i.e it is not spoken as it is written). Most native speakers think so, because they are really used to it, but it's not true. First of all, open and nasal vowels are not marked by accents in maybe half of the cases or more (e.g. manhã - both vowels are nasal; muito has a nasal diphtong; porta and porto have open and closed "o" sounds respectively, etc.), many vowel sounds are added or removed depending on the word(e.g. madeira is mostly pronounced /madera/; excelente is pronounced /eixcelente/ in many regions), the letter "x" may have 4 different sounds (caixa - /caisha/; exato - /ezato/; exceto - /esseto/ or /eisseto/; prefixo - /preficso/), the letters "m" and "n" at the end of the word are just not pronounced and turn the vowels nasal (e.g. falam, cólon, etc.), the letter "r" may be pronounced in several ways (rato - /hato/; caro - /caro/; carro - /caho/; torto - /torto/ with many variations according to region) and may be pronounced or not when at the end of the word, the letter "l" is pronounced as "u" (vowel) at the end of the word in Brazil, "z" has different sounds too (zebra, paz - pronounced /pas/ or /paish/ depending on the region, and the sound may change depending on the word coming after it, e.g. paz e amor: /paziamor/ or /paiziamor/), and maaaany other cases. Not to mention there are open vowels, closed vowels, nasal vowels, including nasal diphtongs, semivowels everywhere, etc. :)

@@hunniehuangThe "formal" pronunciation doesn't really exist in any natural situation. It's basically an artificial construct people are taught at school, because for whatever reason Brazilians think that speaking naturally with the pronunciation they use daily is wrong. In that sense there isn't much of a point in comparing other languages to it, it's an idealized pronunciation that people only really use in specific contexts. The "paziamor" one is very common actually. The E -> I reduction for unstressed vowels is ubiquitous in Brazilian Portuguese, and connected speech isn't uncommon either.

Cara, sempre fico impressionado com o quanto o nosso idioma é sempre considerado tão difícil e, ao mesmo tempo, como nós conseguimos falar até que bem a maioria dos idiomas (sem contar as enrolações clássicas que nem o portunhol pra se virar com nossos vizinhos aqui da América do Sul). As palavras mostradas nos outros idiomas parecem fáceis da gente pronunciar antes mesmo das meninas falarem o correto (apesar que contrarreloj foi pra ferrar qualquer um).

Around 60% - 70% of the words in Spanish can be found in Portuguese. So, this similarity only can be found in these languages. Sometimes, even two persons may hold a conversation in their mother languages, and both are still capable to understand each other 🙂. Well, I've been working in an international company for more than 18 months, and after a year, I can understand, write and speak more in Portuguese. Reading could be kind of easy, but the pronunctiation and grammar becomes challenging if you are not familiar with the phonemes. These are tricky, specially if you are learning Portuguese from Brazil. For me it's a little bit more difficult, but very fun to learn🙂. Obrigrado!

Most foreigners cannot correctly pronounce the sound "ão", exemplified in the word "excepção" in the video. Many have been practicing and speaking Portuguese for years, but even so they don't pronounce this sound the right way, and sometimes they arrive at a bakery asking for "pau" (dick), instead of "pão" (bread), this is a commonplace and funny situation that happens in Brazil. ;)

@BucyKalman 2 ай бұрын

I am not sure, but it is possible that the Brazilian girl has some prior knowledge of Spanish and Italian. In fact, most Brazilians have heard Spanish before and some may have learned it too at school. Italian may be not so common unless you are from a part of Brazil where there are many Italian immigrants like São Paulo or the South. I'm from São Paulo for example and my great-grandparents were Italian, although I don't personally speak Italian. Linguistically, however, another point is that Portuguese has most of the sounds that exist in Spanish (but not all) and, I think, it also has all of the sounds in Italian, but the reverse is not true, i.e., there are many Portuguese phonemes that do not exist in either Spanish or Italian. So that may be a reason why it is easier for Portuguese speakers to understand Spanish or Italian than vice-versa. Overall, I think most people, including most Romance speakers themselves, would agree that the pronunciations of Portuguese and French are harder than those of Spanish and Italian, and European Portuguese (that is, Portuguese from Portugal, which is not shown on the video) is even harder than the Brazilian variant.

If the syllable inflections aren’t entirely right the the meanings are completely different. I think I offended a few people on accident. 😂

Yeah, I confirm that by being French and this consonant exactly sounds like a /s/ like Portuguese. I don't know about the Portuguese one but in French, we use it when a "c" is linked to a vowel which isn't an "e" nor an "i" and nor a "y" to have an /s/ sound instead of a /k/ sound. We don't use a "ç" when it links to an "e", an "i" or a "y" because "c" already sounds like a /s/ without needing a cedilla in this case.

As a Brazilian I think we don't really mind when foreing language speakers mispronounce words in portuguese, and most people here try really hard to communicate and understand tourists, for example.

That's not how hard they are to learn, it's only how hard they are to pronounce.
